Complex Open Repair Of A Broken Lower Jaw

Iowa rates for HCPCS 21470

Repairs a badly broken lower jaw through more than one incision, using plates, screws, or wires to hold the pieces in the right position and wiring the upper and lower teeth together so the bite lines up while it heals. It is used for the more complicated jaw fractures, where a single approach would not let the surgeon reach and secure all the fragments.
